I am trying to get a laptop for my brother that he will use for just basic needs. He recently bought and Acer laptop which came with the new AMD E-350 processor for $400. I was not sure about that processor and read up on it and saw that it is a new processor from 2011. His laptop comes with the
acer aspire 5253-bz661
AMD e-350
500gb hard drive
15.6" led lcd
AMD Radeon HD 6310
4GB Ram
6-cell battery
Costco - Acer Aspire AS5253 15.6" Laptop
I looked online and came across a Lenovo Ideapad. This one is $380 and comes with
lenovo ideapad Z565
AMD Phenom N660
320GB hard drive
15.6 led lcd
AMD Radeon HD 4270
3gb RAM
6-cell battery
Lenovo - IdeaPad Laptop / AMD Phenomâ„¢ II Processor / 15.6" Display / 3GB Memory / 320GB Hard Drive - Black - Z565-43113LU
I also came across the Gateway for $400 which seems to be better than both of those
Gateway NV53A75u
AMD Phenom II X2 Triple Core N830 2.1GHz
15.6" TFT LCD Display
4GB RAM
500GB Hard Drive
ATI Radeon HD 4250
6-cell battery
Gateway - Laptop / AMD Phenomâ„¢ II X2 Processor / 15.6" Display / 4GB Memory / 500GB Hard Drive - Velvet Blue - NV53A75u
His is a "AMD Vision" while the Lenovo and Gateway are "AMD Vision Premium"
So he basically just needs it to browse the web, having a few tabs/windows open, watching movies, maybe simple gaming, using Office, that sort of things. Which one would be recommended the most? Is there a better laptop that I could find for no more than $400?
